The following is from an email exchange with Nicky Ferguson. These are my answers to the questions he posed, and as such shouldnâ€™t be considered the opinion of the ORCID project itself. They are the answers I believe are correct, based on the meetings and discussions I have been part of on the technical advisory group.

If any other member of the advisory group can correct any inaccuracies in the comments, Iâ€™d be most appreciative.
